Irwin Tools Night Race @ Bristol

[Nascar Addict]

Next up for the Sprint Cup guys... The Irwin Tools 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway. Bristol. Under the light. Always a fan favorite.

They need to redo the repave/gradual banking.

I'd love to see bristol go back to the old asphalt version.

I liked it when they had a split between the concrete and the asphalt.

Bristol is awesome. Not sure what you were watching.

Stewart just announced that he wont be racing. Burton in the #14 again.

Unless you drank a case of Bud before you went in.. and didn't care what you were watching.. it might be awesome.. but the racing at Bristol hasn't been very good in probably over 5 years.. may explain why the attendance is down there.. at a track where you couldn't get a ticket.. to where you can walk right up and get as many as you want.. the racing ain't what it use to be


its a sad situation for Stewart.. he was pretty much out of The Chase anyway.. and I don't see him coming back this year

Attendance is down there mostly because they and the surrounding areas have been gouging the shit out of people.

Exactly. Martinsville has went through the same thing. At one time, the cheapest ticket you could get was $100. Now you can get 4 tickets, 4 drinks and 4 hot dogs for $100. It isn't because the racing sucks, it's because people don't have the money to spend freely like they did 10-15 years ago.

Anyone in the Nashville area able to get the race, and if so - which channel? ABC here has the Titans vs Atlanta game and it's only the 2nd quarter.

Bristol is one of my favorites tracks. I hope Gordon can get another win.

 

[bksballer89]

Im watching

 

[Edisto_Tiger]

here. was hoping Danica was gonna turn Gordon there.

 

[#1BostonFan]

Gordon takes the lead and is trying to make the bottom work. This pit stop on lap 60 should be interesting.

 

[BPNAZ]

wow, not really sure what Gordon was thinking there, as he was very lucky Danica didn't clip him straight into the wall
